Back to Cameroon after decades abroad

Fellow Cameroonians,

There is consensus that the vast majority of immigrants age 40 and above, who have spent at least 10 years in the West are desperate to go back home. But have not got the means and courage to make the move.The reasons are multifactorial.

If we look at the basic principles governing immigration from developing to developed countries, the bottom line was to cultivate a level of academic and intellectual strength in the West, then, return home with a view to implementing our wealth of knowledge in our respective countries of origin. This was meant to boost growth in every sector of life.

However due to different variables , there is plenty of evidence to support speculations that we have the brightest intellectuals of African origin permanently settling in the West.

Please have a look at those who are governing our countries from directorial to ministerial positions. They are 100% graduates from Western Countries. Therefore, it is clear and evident that some of us settling here on a permanent basis have failed in one way or the other.

I appreciate the fact that there is a good number of us holding unskilled jobs. Surprisingly, these are the ones who 've invested straregically back home.

Now, what are the challenges we face upon our return to Africa? I keep saying safety. We could capillarize safety in financial/economical, medical /healthcare, and public safety which could be subdivided into bad roads, no street lights and energy supplies in the form of shortage of water.

From a sentimental point of view , the most difficult thing to cope with or to come to terms with is the level of DISHONESTY running through the veins of Africans living in Africa. You can't Trust even your first degree relatives.

With certainty DISHONESTY is the real challenge we face prior and during our return home.

Vraiement !! Mobulu.

Mola Fred
